Description

本発明は、電解銅箔の表面検査方法及び電解銅箔の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for surface inspection of electrolytic copper foil and a method for producing electrolytic copper foil.

プリント配線板用電解銅箔は、一般的に、一方の表面が平滑な光沢面であり、他方の表面がプリプレグ等との密着性を確保するために、粗化処理が施された粗化処理面となっている。
この粗化処理は、通常、粗化処理前の電解銅箔のマット面(凹凸が大きい面)に銅等の粒子(以下、「粗化粒子」ともいう)を電析させる処理である。粗化処理前の電解銅箔の表面において、高い凸部が存在していたり、傷等によって表面形状が通常と異なっていた場合、電析時の電流密度が局所的に高くなることから、粗化粒子が局所的に多く析出してしまうことがある。このような現象は、粗化異常又は異常突起と呼ばれ、通常、その大きさは、直径が5~100μm、高さが2~30μmの範囲で発生することが多い。粗化異常又は異常突起が発生した箇所(以下、「粗化異常部」ともいう)が存在する銅張積層板を回路加工した場合、粗化異常部がエッチングで溶解されず、回路欠陥となったり、絶縁信頼性が損なわれるといった問題が生じる。
In general, one surface of electrolytic copper foil for printed wiring boards is a smooth glossy surface, and the other surface is roughened in order to ensure adhesion to a prepreg or the like. It is a face.
This roughening treatment is usually a treatment of electrodepositing particles such as copper (hereinafter, also referred to as "roughened particles") on the matte surface (surface having large irregularities) of the electrolytic copper foil before the roughening treatment. If there are high protrusions on the surface of the electrolytic copper foil before the roughening treatment, or if the surface shape is different from the normal one due to scratches, etc., the current density at the time of electrodeposition increases locally, so that the roughening is performed. A large amount of chemical particles may be deposited locally. Such a phenomenon is called a roughening abnormality or anomalous protrusion, and its size usually occurs in the range of 5 to 100 μm in diameter and 2 to 30 μm in height. When a copper-clad laminate having a portion where an abnormal roughening or an abnormal protrusion occurs (hereinafter, also referred to as an "abnormal roughening portion") is circuit-processed, the abnormal roughening portion is not melted by etching and becomes a circuit defect. In addition, there are problems such as impaired insulation reliability.

電解銅箔の粗化処理面の品質検査方法としては、表面粗さ測定、電子顕微鏡、実体顕微鏡、CCDカメラ等による観察などが行われている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 As a method for inspecting the quality of the roughened surface of the electrolytic copper foil, surface roughness measurement, observation with an electron microscope, a stereomicroscope, a CCD camera, or the like is performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、実体顕微鏡、CCDカメラ等による観察は、粗化処理面の色調がほぼ均一であること、粗化異常部のサイズが小さいこと等に起因して、粗化異常部の検出及び判別が困難であるという課題がある。

Further, when observing with a stereomicroscope, a CCD camera, etc., it is difficult to detect and discriminate the roughened abnormal portion due to the fact that the color tone of the roughened abnormal portion is almost uniform and the size of the roughened abnormal portion is small. There is a problem that it is.

Next, the untreated electrolytic copper foil is roughened.
The roughening treatment is performed by, for example, a plating method in which an electrolytic solution such as copper sulfate is electrolyzed to uniformly precipitate roughened particles containing copper on the matte surface (concave surface) side of the untreated electrolytic copper foil. Can be done. More specifically, an untreated electrolytic copper foil is used as a cathode, an insoluble anode is placed at the counter electrode, and a copper plating solution such as copper sulfate having a liquid temperature of 20 to 40 ° C. is used, and an average anode current density is 5 A / dm. By electrolyzing under the condition of 2 to 40 A / dm 2 , roughened particles can be precipitated on the matte surface of the untreated electrolytic copper foil. Further, the above operation may be performed a plurality of times as needed.
The roughened particles formed by the roughening treatment step usually contain copper, and as elements other than copper, molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), and carbon. It may contain one or more elements selected from the group consisting of (C), vanadium (V) and tungsten (W).
The preferred range of the surface roughness Rz and the thickness of the roughened surface formed by the roughening treatment step is the same as the preferable range of the electrolytic copper foil described in [Method for inspecting the surface of the electrolytic copper foil].
Further, after the roughening treatment step, surface treatment such as rust prevention treatment may be appropriately carried out according to the required quality.

実施例1
(検査対象の準備)
検査対象の電解銅箔として、市販品である、厚さ18μmのプリント配線板用電解銅箔(表面粗さRz:7±1.5μm)と、厚さ35μmのプリント配線板用電解銅箔(表面粗さRz:8.5±1.5μm)の2種類を、各々5ロットずつ準備をした。さらに、各ロットの任意の位置から、A4サイズ(210mm×297mm)を2枚ずつ切り出して、これらを試験サンプルとした。
Example 1
(Preparation for inspection)
The electrolytic copper foils to be inspected are commercially available electrolytic copper foils for printed wiring boards with a thickness of 18 μm (surface roughness Rz: 7 ± 1.5 μm) and electrolytic copper foils for printed wiring boards with a thickness of 35 μm (surface roughness Rz: 7 ± 1.5 μm). Two types of surface roughness Rz (8.5 ± 1.5 μm) were prepared for each of 5 lots. Further, two A4 sizes (210 mm × 297 mm) were cut out from arbitrary positions in each lot, and these were used as test samples.

(塗膜形成工程)
上記で準備した試験サンプルの粗化処理面上に、粗化異常部観察用物質として、オイル(呉工業株式会社製、商品名:CRC-556、鉱物油を主成分として含むオイル)を噴霧して、試験サンプルの粗化処理面全体が均一に濡れるように塗膜)を形成した。
(Coating film forming process)
Oil (manufactured by Kure Engineering Co., Ltd., trade name: CRC-556, oil containing mineral oil as a main component) is sprayed on the roughened surface of the test sample prepared above as a substance for observing abnormal roughening. A coating film was formed so that the entire roughened surface of the test sample was uniformly wetted.

(検査工程)
上記で塗膜を形成した試験サンプルの塗膜形成面を、実体顕微鏡(倍率:15倍)を用いて観察して、粗化異常部(正常な部分と色調又は形状が異なっている箇所)の数を目視で計測した。評価結果を表1に示す。なお、表1における粗化異常部の個数は、A4サイズの試験サンプル2枚当たりに含まれる粗化異常部の個数である。
(Inspection process)
Observe the coating film-forming surface of the test sample on which the coating film was formed above using a stereomicroscope (magnification: 15 times), and observe the roughened abnormal part (the part where the color tone or shape is different from the normal part). The number was measured visually. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1. The number of abnormal roughening portions in Table 1 is the number of abnormal roughening portions contained in two A4 size test samples.

実施例1において、塗膜形成工程を実施しなかったことを以外は、実施例1と同様にして、検査を実施した。
Comparative Example 1
The inspection was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the coating film forming step was not carried out in Example 1.

表1より、本発明の検査方法である実施例1では、塗膜形成工程を行わずに粗化処理面を観察した比較例1では検出できなかった粗化異常部を検出されており、電解銅箔の粗化処理面に発生する粗化異常部を容易かつ高精度で検出できることが分かる。
また、図1及び2には、実施例1及び比較例1で得られた、粗化処理面を有する電解銅箔の実体顕微鏡画像((a)視野1、(b)視野2)を各々示した。図1から明らかなように、本実施形態の検査方法で得られた実体顕微鏡画像においては、粗化異常部が正常な部分とは大きく異なって見えるため、粗化異常部の検出を容易にできることが分かる。
From Table 1, in Example 1 which is the inspection method of the present invention, an abnormal roughening portion which could not be detected in Comparative Example 1 in which the roughened surface was observed without performing the coating film forming step was detected, and electrolysis was performed. It can be seen that the roughened abnormal portion generated on the roughened surface of the copper foil can be detected easily and with high accuracy.
Further, FIGS. 1 and 2 show stereomicroscopic images ((a) field of view 1 and (b) field of view 2) of the electrolytic copper foil having the roughened surface obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, respectively. rice field. As is clear from FIG. 1, in the stereomicroscopic image obtained by the inspection method of the present embodiment, the abnormally roughened portion looks significantly different from the normal portion, so that the abnormally roughened portion can be easily detected. I understand.
